RCB vs RR, IPL 2025 Match Highlights: Pacer Josh Hazlewood led the way with a brilliant four-wicket haul as Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated Rajasthan Royals by 11 runs in their IPL match on Thursday (April 24) at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium. Chasing a target of 206, Rajasthan Royals fell short, finishing at 194 for 9 in 20 overs. Royals suffered their fifth straight loss of the season and are now officially out of the qualification race.
Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 49, and Dhruv Jurel added 47, but it wasn't enough. At one point, RR were cruising with 72 from the powerplay with the loss of just two wickets. Riyan Parag and Nitish Rana continued the onslaught but Krunal Pandya came to the rescue for the hosts in the middle-over phase.
After that, pick of the bowlers for RCB, Hazlewood finished with the figures of 4 for 33. He was supported by Pandya (2/31), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1/50), and Yash Dayal (1/33). Earlier, Virat Kohli (70 off 42) and Devdutt Padikkal (50 off 27) powered RCB to 205 for 5, thanks to a crucial 95-run partnership for the second wicket after being put in to bat.

Hold on! We've got a slight delay here. The umpire's having a chat on the walkie-talkie. Ah, it seems there was a bit of a kerfuffle at the end of the previous over. Replays show Suyash Sharma inadvertently picked up the ball with his cap! A lucky escape, as the ball was deemed dead. Otherwise, that would have been a costly 5-run penalty! Anyway, Krunal Pandya is finally ready to bowl.
WICKET!Over 9.1Rajasthan 110/3
WICKET! What an instant impact from Krunal Pandya! He strikes with his very first delivery and it's a huge blow to RR! He tosses it up nicely, full on middle, and Riyan Parag was all set to launch it into orbit with a pre-meditated slog sweep. However, the ball just turned away a fraction, catching the top edge and ballooning up. Jitesh Sharma, under the high ball, makes no mistake, settling under it beautifully to take a comfortable catch to his right! Big wicket!
